It is unlikely that Smith ever understood the name Nantaquod (he may not even have recorded it accurately). Much of the Powhatan language was never recorded at all by the English, so the meaning of many words (including Nantaquod) is lost.
The language is extinct today.

Nantaquoud was not a name given to John Smith. It was the name of Powhatan's natural son whom Smith had met and admired. The passage in Smith's history is ". . . he (Powhatan) would give him (Smith) the Country of Capahowosick, and for ever esteeme him as his sonne Nantaquoud," meaning Powhatan would forever esteem Smith just as he esteemed his son Nantaquoud. Of Nantaquoud, Smith said he was "the most manliest, comeliest, boldest spirit, I ever saw in a Savage" (2:258).

What city in Illinois whose name comes from an Algonquin word meaning garlic field?
No city in Illinois has a name from Algonquin - that language is only spoken by the Algonquin tribe of Canada. Chicago is named from the Miami (not Algonquin) word chicagoua, meaning the wild native garlic plant (Allium tricoccum) - there is nothing in the word that represents "field", so it definitely does not mean "garlic field", simply "wild garlic".It is claimed that the Miami word also signifies "skunk", but this is given as shikakwa in modern sources.
